The Ontario government grilled over trucker protests

#onpoli, a TVO podcast

The judge in charge of investigating the use of the Emergencies Act last year found it troubling that the Ford government didn't get involved in stopping the protests until a blockade formed in Windsor, threatening economic activity crossing the Detroit River. These are harsh findings for the Ontario government. Mike Schreiner is remaining the leader of the Green Party of Ontario as he passes up the chance to run for the Ontario Liberal leadership. The legislature returned last week and so too did questions about Doug Ford's daughter's stag and doe party. Developers paid thousands to attend the event and the premier seems unaware of the poor optics on this story.
